Mrs. Ramsay-VII
One evening I sat with Mr. Kelada and
a few others around the table.
Then they started talking about pearls, because of that my
face blanched.
Mr. Kelada began
to tell us about his extensive knowledge about pearls and
my husband thought he could take the opportunity to
humiliate Mr. Kelada.
I was hoping now body will "put" me in the
conversation, but suddenly Mr. Kelada turned to me and told me these pearls will not be worth less than they are now.
Of course I put the necklace
write away in to my shirt in hopes it would be forgotten and no one will think about feats.
Unfortunately, my
husband thought I was wearing a really cheap pearls and he wanted to prove that Mr. Kelada does not understand anything about pearls.
So my husband asked him
how much he think my necklace
Worth, Then I began to be under great pressure and I realized that the chances that my husband will
realize what
I had done very large.
I hoped Mr. Kelada would
think they were cheap and maybe things will work out but Mr.
Kelada knew exactly how much the pearl are worth but my husband did not understand that
I lied to him, so he laughed and said to Mr. Kelada the lies I told him and he was sure that defeated Mr. Kelada.
I felt like
the world was about to collapse in
front of me, I just wanted to go back and fix what I did but it was too late.
Mr. Kelada did
not give up and kept in mind.
Of course they mingled with that so I knew that I was going to pay for my lies.
I immediately tried to
end this disaster and
tried to convince my husband to
cancel the bet I tried not to show the
pressure and smiled some more but my husband did
not give up and wanted to bet on it, I was hoping that it will be impossible to prove it for sure and I asked about it and unfortunately, Mr. Kelada was supposed to check it and he indeed know what he
does.
My husband asked me
to bring the chain to
Mr. Kelada, I almost gave up in to the pressure and I tried to lie I can not open the chain but my husband did not give up and opened it him self and handed it to Mr. Kelada.
While Mr. Kelada
Test the chain, I almost gave in to pressure and my face became pale, so I have almost run out of air, and then Mr. Kelada after examining the chain caught me with his
eyes, and I was so petrified when he looked at me, I begged him to just lie for me with looks.
To
my great surprise Mr. Kelada said he was wrong and these pearls indeed fake, I was completely shocked.
Mr. Kelada brought my husband $
100 and his hands were shaking.
I just wanted to escape this meal before he decides to to regret this generous act he did for me.
